Lin Yuan returned to Yu County and met Li Shaojun's family near the farmers' market.

"Lin Yuan, go to the vegetable market to buy some local specialties and go to Nanren to eat."

Li Shaojun called Lin Yuan.

"My grandfather knew that when I went back to my hometown, he would specifically tell me to buy some local specialties from my hometown."

Lin Yuan saw that the trunk of his car was filled with several large boxes of navel oranges.

"I just went to a navel orange orchard in Zhalingang to pick it. It was five yuan per pound, and it only took more than 100 pounds. The car was too small and couldn't fit much. I couldn't buy more and I couldn't get it."

"Are there navel orange picking in the orchard now?"

Navel oranges should have been picked before the New Year.

"The boss of Navel Orange Garden picked off the fruit before the New Year and left some of it to sell it after the New Year. I just went there and saw many people driving to buy it."

Lin Yuan was interested: "Take me there, I will buy some navel oranges too."

His Ford Mustang has a large trunk space, so it should be no problem to buy two or three hundred kilograms.

Li Shaojun's eyes lit up: Yes, Lin Yuan's car can bring more local specialties.

After discussion, Wu Yina and her two women asked to take their children to the farmers' market first to buy some local specialties they like. Lin Yuan and Li Shaojun went to Hawlingang to buy navel oranges.

Lin Yuan asked Li Shaojun to drive his new car.

"It's great to drive a good car!"

More than ten minutes later, I arrived at the navel orange garden.

The orchard door was full of vehicles.

Lin Yuan and the others went in and bought 300 kilograms of fresh navel oranges and moved them to the car.

A few snakeskin bags piled in the trunk, leaving a certain amount of space.

When they returned to the farmers' market, Zhang Minhui and Wu Yina basically didn't buy any local specialties.

Lin Yuan and Li Shaojun walked towards the vegetable market together.

An old farmer carried a load of local taro for sale.

"This taro is very good, it is large and well-proportioned, and has no squad points, and looks strong."

Li Shaojun picked up one and weighed it: "It's not heavy, it means there is less moisture."

He asked the old farmer: "Master, how much does this taro cost per pound?"

"I dug it out of the ground a few days yesterday, 1.5 yuan per pound."

In the cold winter, the old farmer's hands were frozen red.

Li Shaojun said to Lin Yuan: "One of us is half, did we buy it?"

"OK."

Each person has a basket, at most fifty kilograms.

Cook the local taro for more than ten minutes and it will be cooked until it is fresh and white as milk.

The cooked taro is even more delicate, soft and glutinous, melts in the mouth and has a fragrance.

The two took the taro to the car and returned to the market.

Lin Yuan saw a middle-aged woman carrying two baskets of brown bamboo shoots on a shoulder pole and selling them.

Peel the brown skin layer by layer, peel it into the brown buds that are rejuvenated inside, wash it and cut it into thin slices, mix some chili. If there is bacon at home, add garlic leaves and stir-fry it into a plate of astringent, sweet, spicy and delicious dish.

"Shaojun, do you like eating brown buds?"

"It's a bit bitter, I didn't eat it when I was a kid."

Lin Yuan likes the astringent and fragrant feeling very much.

"I like."

[One of Guiling and Sun Chun’s favorite dish is fried bacon with brown buds. The host can buy all the brown buds. When he returns to Guangxi, he goes to Guiling Sun’s house with Li Shaojun, and then gives the brown buds and local bacon to the Sun’s house without leaving any trace. This can gain Sun Chun’s favor 20 points and Sun Jianjiang’s favor 50 points.]

The favorable impression of the Sun family's father and son was of great help to Lin Yuan's engineering project this year.

He bargained with middle-aged women.

"Five yuan per pound, but there are not many palm buds. More than a dozen palm trees scraped these braces. I originally wanted to keep my son home for the holidays and take them to Guangdong after the New Year. Who knew that he would not come back for the New Year, so he picked them and sold them."

A middle-aged woman means not caring about that little money, mainly keeping it at home, and her son and daughter-in-law don’t go home for the New Year, so she is afraid of wasting it.

"I bought all the brambles for four yuan per pound, can I do it?"

Two baskets of brown buds are only about fifty or sixty kilograms.

The woman thought for a while and nodded: "Forget it, I'll sell it to you, I don't want to stay here either."

After weighing the weight, Lin Yuan paid her at the price.

Li Shaojun bought more than ten kilograms of winter bamboo shoots.

Brown buds and winter bamboo shoots are both foods that can be stored for a long time.

Lin Yuan also bought more than a dozen kilograms of winter bamboo shoots.

Wu Yina also bought dozens of kilograms of dried sweet potatoes at this time.

"The dried sweet potatoes are delicious, only 5 yuan per pound."

"Dried sweet potatoes are delicious, but the potato flour in my hometown is also good."

So I bought a few more kilograms of potato flour.

Lin Yuan remembered the soup that he ate in Xu Town when he was a child. The lean meat floated among the potato vermicelli, and the delicious soup was very fresh.

But there should be French fries sold in the supermarket.

At this time, Zhang Minhui saw tofu and tofu at a side dish stall again.

"Shaojun, can I buy a few cans of stinky tofu back, okay?" She called Li Shaojun over.

"When I take a look, is the stinky tofu he sells authentic and locally made?"

Hearing Li Shaojun's words, the stall owner was dissatisfied: "This was made by my mother myself. It was made with spicy, sesame seeds, melon seeds, and soybeans, without any rice noodles. If you don't believe it, you can open the lid and smell the taste, and try it."

Lin Yuan also walked over and took a look.

He looked around to see if there was any cured bacon he needed to buy.

Although there are also cured bacon sold at the side food stalls, it looks bad and wrinkled.

Near the meat stall, he found a bacon store.

The store has beef bacon, sausage, bacon, pork liver, pork waist, pork heart, pork ears, pork tongue and other products.

It looks like they are all locally prepared and pickled.

And it is exquisitely packaged and easy to carry.

Although the price is much more expensive, the wax products inside are vacuum-packed and do not exude at all.

Without saying a word, Lin Yuan selected dozens of kilograms of wax products.

"Lin Yuan, are you going to open a new store and invite fellow villagers to dinner?" Zhang Minhui said with a smile.

"At present, I only know Shaojun, a fellow villager in Nanren City, and no one else recognizes it. How can I invite someone to dinner?"

Lin Yuan explained: "Fried bacon and chili peppers are the most distinctive local dish. I like to eat it when I was a kid. Anyway, this dish is durable and will not break any time it is stored. It is rare to go back once a year. Buy more local specialties and you can eat it slowly."

Li Shaojun also asked Zhang Minhui to buy some.

"When will I go to Guangxi?" Lin Yuan asked.

"It's going to pass tomorrow. I'm going to go to Guiling to pay New Year's greetings to Sun's house, and rush back to Nanren the next day. What about you? Or go together?"

When driving a long-distance bus, you can take care of each other on the road.

"Then let's go together."

The two made an appointment to set off at 10 o'clock tomorrow.

"In this way, I'll have lunch in the service area and rush to Sun's house to have supper," said Li Shaojun.

Lin Yuan took his wife and children to his sister's house.

Tell her to return to Nanren City with Li Shaojun tomorrow.

"Li Shaojun is back too? Let him come over for dinner?" Lin Ling said.

"No need, his parents and his two brothers are in the county town, so where can they not eat meals?"

My brother-in-law Yang Liu also came home from outside playing cards. Lin Yuan took a part of the food he bought in the vegetable market just now and took it to his kitchen to ask his sister to cook.

Lin Ling blamed him: "I have marinated a lot of them at home. I have packed them for you and can take them to Guangxi tomorrow."
